Once in a While - Sloes

Running out of time before I can

Shake these habits for before I run

Never minded being who I am

Need a little help to guide the hand

I don’t want to care which way the wind is blowing

I just want to tell

Say yes without knowing

And keep that smile just like you don’t wonder why

So care free that I can taste that freedom once in a while

When we’re younger shelter is a liberty

Just as easily given, as taken away

I’m not saying it’s wrong

I’m just saying it’s different

When you came along, the land shifted.

And maybe before I had been cast in a way that induced

Now I’m feeding the fire, and walking out of the cinders

Keep that smile just like you not wonder why

So care free that I can taste that freedom once in a while

Once in a while,

Once in a while,

Once in a while.

One night, we might, take it all and be there

Without the sound of the voice in my head

She speaks of fears which have no place here

Your smile, my tears, draw us nearer, draw us nearer

Keep that smile just like you not wonder why

So care free that I can taste that freedom once in a while

Once in a while,

Once in a while,

Once in a while…
